Gondolkanalen 74 year 85-87 - Snowy Days

Previously at Gondolkanalen, Malcolm visited his Electronics shop. Malva spent time with her twin brother Sebastian. Siv grew up to a Family teen and lost her virginity to a college boy she hardly knew. Helena learnt to study. Then we had a Montell family Sunday.

The girls have a snowday, and Siv takes the opportunity to invite her college lover Lars-Erik Knutsson. She’s completely mad about him, and is all over him despite that they’re not even best friends yet!

Unfortunately Lars-Erik forgot to take a shower before he left campus, and leaves almost immediately. Or, he’s not as crazy about Siv as she is about him...

Malcolm comes home promoted to Getaway Driver, and is catching up on Malva again. They’re now at the same level.

That night it’s time for the youngest Montell cousin to become a teenager. Congratulations, Helena!

She grows up very well and chooses an aspiration that’s not too common – Popularity! She turns on from logical blonds and turns off from formal wear. Her LTW is to get 20 pet best friends! :s That means she'll probably get rerolled in college...

Malcolm and Malva both leave for work, and thus, the Police arrive to break up the teenage party. Siv still works on becoming best friends with Lars-Erik.

At 6am, Malva and Malcolm arrives home. They both bring friends, but WHY is the paper girl a work friend of Malva's?

The girls get another snowday. What’s wrong with this society? There is snow outside, yes, but there should be some people plowing away the snow, too.

Well, it gives Siv another chance to try to become best friends with Lars-Erik.

And today is the day when Siv finally reaches her goal to become best friends with Lars-Erik.

Helena spends her day off practising the piano, and maxes her Creativity skill while at it.

Then she decides to change her looks, and proves to be a very beautiful teen, especially considering what she looked like growing up.

Malcolm has a streak of bad luck and gets demoted all the way back to Con Artist due to a chance card.

Wednesday the girls finally go to school. Spring is in the air and they are playful when they get home with new homework. Siv longs for a kiss, probably from Lars-Erik, but Helena hasn’t started thinking about stuff like that yet, she’s only 13.

Siv thinks of little less. She’s really determined to make Lars-Erik her own.

Malva’s luck in the job department is even worse than her husband’s. She gets demoted all the way back to pickpocket due to a chance card. The paper girl still works in the Criminal career, apparently...

And there this short update is over and we continue to new households.

From some of the pictures, I'm not so sure Lars-Eric is as into Siv as she is him. Hopefully she's not in for heartache in the future. Helena did turn out quite pretty after the makeover. Hopefully she'll wait a bit before becoming so stuck on one guy though.

I have never had a sim so clingy as Siv is on Lars-Erik. And he's not even a family sim, but a Knowledger. I think Siv is one of those people who have so much love inside and idealizes the first male they meet. We'll see where we end up. Her cousin Märta, in a more appropriate age, is dating Lars-Erik, too...

Malcolm's daughters all turned out to be pretty cute! I've had him have kids in one of my hoods before, and they don't always turn out pretty, lol. Also, your Lars is the exact same sim as one of the guys that one of my sims dated, only his name in my game is Curt Walker. My sims broke up, so I may never see what his kids look like, so maybe yours will make it and have babies! I'm dying to see what his babies look like!

Awww...the girls are beautiful! Siv is really hooked on Lars-Erik, he's an interesting guy. I'm worried he's just hooking up with Siv though. I guess we'll see what happens in Uni. Your luck with chance cards with this family is rough! I LOVE the paper girl coming home with the "criminals". Maybe she's a spy....I mean she does visit EVERY house. lol

It's always fun to see this household, even if the competition between Malva and Malcolm isn't as pronounced. Helena is definitely pretty... in an interesting sort of way, I'm glad she turned out better than our hopes for her, lol... too bad about her crappy LTW... I don't ever want to do that one!

First off: I have read through your entire blog in the last few weeks and enjoyed it very much. You have a nice simple writing style with lots of action. It's nice to find another more-or-less active Sims 2 Prosperity player and blogger. I am thinking of taking your idea of family Sunday somewhere along the line. Right now the main wave of Generation 2 is getting married, so my Sims are racking up enough "family reunion" memories as is. (One girl only has 3 siblings--and a brother-in-law, who did attend, and a toddler niece, who did not attend--but she still got a "family reunion" memory from her wedding.)

Anyway, I am commenting on this older post instead of a newer one because I wanted to say that when I saw Helena in profile I realized that she has a half-brother here in America with exactly the same nose. I had wondered where my Malcolm V got his stubby little nose. Now I'm thinking it must be a recessive from Malcolm IV's side of the family. (Malcolm IV does not have a very large nose himself, from what I recall, but not that small either.)

I am a bit behind in blogging, so I don't yet have many pictures of Malcolm IV's children grown up (in my game he also has three daughters, who are all actually pretty except for their unfortunate eyebrows), but if you want you can still come read my blog: http://prosperityplains.blogspot.com

Thank you very much for reading, and fun to hear about Malcolm's other children in a parallel universe!I didn't think about it before, but you're right about Helena's nose, it doesn't come from her mother!I will check your blog out!
